SLEAFORD MODS IN BROOKLYN

After a 2-3 year absence good to see my fave white rap group from the UK back again, haranguing and such (though if you're a real hip hop fan, you need to check out that other great UK import, grime music). Tough to get Jason Williamson down as he was constantly in motion, swatting his head or cranking his arm behind his back, looking half like a police collar and half like a cocky swagger-filled singer move. Either way, he's quite a presence on stage though his DJ colleague could do more than hit PLAY on his laptop and stand there bobbing his head around behind JW.

Here's also some footage from their 2014 show at the Wick (also Brooklyn, their first NYC show).
